Austronesian directions are trippy, producing the same words for different things.
"Timur/timog" means east in Malay, but in my language, Tagalog, it means south. In others, it means wind or rain. Turns out, they all have roots meaning southeast monsoon. It checks out because here at the north, those winds appear from the south while at the south, they would appear from the east.
What's weird is in Masbate, it means north. Wonder what happened there?
Languages: English, Finnish, French, German, Swedish.

I am super excited about this mini-conference on #reproducibility in #linguistics that I am organising this evening: Four of my M.A. students will be reporting on their attempts to reproduce the results of four published quantitative linguistics papers for which the data is available, but not the code!
Colleagues, they have *a lot* of things to report! So, if you're in the area (Cologne), do come along! There will be #ReproducibiliTea and Christmas biscuits! 🍵 🍪 #OpenScience

Unearthing a Long Ignored African Writing System, One Researcher Finds African History, by Africans
A note in Ajami, a modified Arabic script, from Fallou Ngom's late father opened the door to a lifetime of discovery in African language and history.Molly Callahan (The Brink)
I’d also be interested in how people may describe my own stylometric fingerprint (signature phrases, grammar quirks, etc), to use as an example.
Boosts appreciated.

Following the recent SCOTUS ruling, many have been trying to publish resources to help people find reproductive healthcare. They often wish to do this anonymously, to avoid doxxing. There’s no shortage of guides on how to stay anonymous online.Seirdy's Home
